apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

In th efuture, could we not have the high chairs sitting directly next to the, um, "pleasure items"?!

:)

Wow, so now I can scrape crusty oatmeal and fishtick crumbs off of a high chair that costs as much as my car? Sign me up!

Did I really just see a dildo on this site?

Actually not the first, either...

I wish there were more beautiful yet affordable "pleasure objects" on the market. Judging by the price of the rest of Lelo's products, the Iris is going to be way out of my price range. Damn!

that's lust objectified? well, it certainly makes high-mindedness easy for me.

bubble, look for vixin creations, they make some beautiful and relatively inexpensive options. Or look for acrylic "pleasure objects". There are some very sculptural ones out there for less than $30.

I am now officially the AT perv. Time to go back to measuring for Flor tiles.

Thanks, Max!

Those pattern rollers are definitely available in the states: www.rollerstencils.com .

Some are definitely cheesy but pick and choose and you could have a pretty styling paint application.

I am actually using the bamboo pattern on the canvas curtains I am currently making (deep orange 1 ft wide horizontal bar with a pale green bamboo roller pattern overlay (vertically applied).

I looked at the Myla site. Then I thought that vin-eau carafe was a "pleasure Object."

I think stencil #2668 will look great down the sides of an entertainment armoire. Plus, by sliding closet doors need love.

Max--
We KNEW we liked you! :)

Kate(NC)--
That made me laugh out loud.

The iris by lelo was unworthy of Apartment Therapy and I am disappointed.

Bubble, check out reputable local/online stores like goodvibes.com too. The web site is easy to navigate (although sometimes things aren't where they're supposed to be) and the store itself has everything out to check out in person.

It's as friendly online and in-store as the local gourmet/cookware store. Browse. Handle the merchandise. If you don't know what it's for, ask. There's enough specialized merchandise in goodvibrations and cookware stores that it's hard to know what everything IS.

"Ohhhh, garlic press, uh, why does anyone need that?"

I picked up a lot of books at GV, and they were very helpful. There aren't any heavy-breathing trenchcoat-wearing pervs looking creepy.

Max, stop breathing heavy and take off that trenchcoat. Yikes! Put that trenchcoat back on. Uh...but don't put it on too fast.

Just regular people interested in the many pleasures available at a specialty shop. Although frying pans don't generally make me blush.

when i see my friend's gleaming copper frying pans i blush for the poor slob i am.

oh you meant the other way... well, i can't think of any pans but there are a few rugs that have made me wish to... with naked foot, stalk a chamber.

speaking of which, i must admit a certain disappointment with AT's poetry selections...

That baby chair..I can only say "Wow."

As for the "boudoir companion," it might be a generational thing, but when I look at it I see a peeled banana crossed with a television remote and possibly out-crossed to an Ipod.

I don't find it offensive at all. Just very funny. But sex is pretty funny. We all need to laugh at what makes us uncomfortable.

Andree, I'll have you know I only post on AT while wearing the finest Baroness latex attire, or my giant fluffy Akita shapped slippers that bark while you walk. And nothing else.

Geez, I have a floral print courderoy shirt on. It's not even fashionable.

My mum told me of a kind of party they would have when she was younger, which sounds like a lot of fun. Well, only if you're in your barking slippers, Max.

It's called a "Come As You Are" party. Invitation was by phone, at all kinds of different times. And people played along with it too. Folks would show up in a house dress and their hair in curlers. In their pajamas. In their business suit or sports outfit, etc. Cotton wads in between toes as some lady had been doing her toenails.

I mean, isn't trying to figure out what to wear to a party often an issue? That's taken right out of the equation with the "Come As You Are" party. You know exactly what you'd be wearing.

With summer and outdoor parties fast approaching, someone give it a whirl and let the rest of us know how it turned out!

Umm... that roller thing looks very much like www.roller.com which IS in English; I actually used it in my living room layered over an off-the-rack store-bought stencil. Many of their patterns are kind of dated, but you can still have fun with them.

Wish I could navigate the site that this entry was referring to.

wow, that "pleasure object" is something else. i don't think it's unworthy - i think it was very bold of you to include it!

oh i wish this didn't have the little leaves:

lovely lovely

rasil -
If you bought one of those things, since it's just kind of a jelly-like rubber stuff, you could probably CUT off the things you didn't like! But you'd have to be very careful.

Assuming you are talking about the paint roller, and not the "pleasure object."

It's only by accident that I did NOT have water in my mouth to spit out of my nose in laughter while reading what P2 said. For once.
